Union Strike Tensions Rise Over Amalgamated Contract Demands
Advisory board members threaten action against the combine and claim strong nonunion lodge support. Talks on gil terms face settlement this year while two mills in Scottdale and Saltsbury resist union scales. Officials dispute claims of union status as workers at Scottdale and Salts refuse quit. A peaceful settlement is suggested as independent mills propose a shared work plan and two-year contracts with no wage decreases. Reading Railway shop hands strike nears end with concessions from both sides. Ironton plants told to resume and Erie Boiler Makers strike settled.

Wage Strikes Spread Across United States Industry
About one hundred Boxmakers and Sa cao workers in Cincinnati struck for higher wages and a nine hour day. Linemen on Cincinnati Traction also struck, while Boston carpenters and other trades joined in sympathy for shorter workdays. Chicago woodworkers avoided a strike by a two year wage advance pact. East St Louis freight handlers demanded higher wages, and Alabama mining camps voted to ratify last year’s scale. Republic Steel in Youngstown prepared mills for early resumption, while Newport News machinists held firm for demands. A constitutional revision session of the Amalgamated Association met in Pittsburgh, and Cincinnati manufacturers proposed terms to striking machinists at Laidlaw Dunn Gordon. About 359 machinists at the plant are involved with broader settlements anticipated.
